Clinton adviser: Democratic primary race is over after California
- 8 years ago
Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton and her camp are quite confident that they have the nomination in the bag.
Clinton strategist Joel Benenson says come Tuesday night, she will have a "majority of delegates overall and a significant majority in the popular vote."
“That’s why everybody in the party, except for a small group of people, are acknowledging that she will be and is the presumptive nominee in the Democratic Party,” Benenson told ABC News.
California's primary is held on Tuesday June 7 and while some expect a Clinton victory, there's still a possibility she could drop the state to rival Bernie Sanders.
Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver contends that although it rightfully appears Clinton will earn the 2,383 delegates needed to win the party’s nomination by Tuesday, that number includes superdelegates, who "actually don’t vote until the convention."
